DRILLING CORN.
Recent Experiments in Planting and Har-
vesting q Satisfactory Crop.

Recent Experiments in Planting and Har-
vesting Satisfactory Crop.
Iplanted my corn this year in drills
instead of hills and can now report re-
suits. Although it was sowed with an
ordinary wheat drill which did the
work poorly, and in spite of the sue
ceeding drought which caused it to
come up very uneyenly, it has matured
very satisfactory crop. l am well
pleased with this method of planting.
But two things are requisite to insure
the greatest success. A good planter
is needed so that the corn shall be
evenly distributed, and then the
smoothing harrow should be put over
the ground at least once q week for the
first five or six weeks. This thorough
ly destroys all weeds when small. and
renders the use of hoe superfuous ex-
cept to cut up thistles or other peren-
nial weeds.
There can be but one objection raised
to drill planting of corn, when treated
as above described, and that is the in
creased labor of cutting. This can be
entirely obyiated by cutting it with q
self-raking reaper, which will do it
easily, putting it in fine shape for bind
ing, if only single row is taken at q
time. By letting the corn lie one day
in the gavel before binding, it will be
so wilted that any stalk will answer as
a binder.
When corn is so cut and bound in
bundles and these are set into rather
large shocks, it cures out nicely and ia
in the best possible shape for hauling
into the barn or shed for husking.
And by using the reaper it can be cut,
bound and placed in shocks with less
than half the labor of cutting by hand
and standing in the ordinary stock.
There are many things yet to be learned
in farming.-COr. Rural NeI1 Yorker.

PAINE AT THE OPERA.

Paine also wrote for musicians often, and,
It Is thought, contributed to the press-per-
haps anonymously-to the day Of his death.
One of the musicians he wrote for was a
young man named Luer, who one day in
vited him to the house of his parents. From
that time the Luers kept their guest till hard
times made them protest, and then he rented
an attic room from them, and almost always
got o free breakfast from his landlords table.
How he got his other meals has already been
told.
1t was while he was lodging at Luer's that
people in New York began to find out that
the old man had money. He complained one
morning to Luer that q roll Of bills had been
taken from a hair trunk, in which all Of
Faine's belongings were kept But as he made
no great fuss about 1t, Luer thought it didn't
amount to much. About the same time a
theatre ticket Spectator found out that the
old man had money in plenty, which he would
be willing to loan at ruinous interest, and be-
came from that TIM a constant borrower.
Few others knew about his wealth, though q
casual acquaintance once saw q roll of bills
stuck carelessly in the old, mans pocket.
SIN safer than all the banks" was Mr..
Paine's replyto the remonstrance his Needless
ness brought out.
By and by Paine died in the squalid little
room he rented from the Duers. He had
fallen on the ice i'll City Hall park and was
taken to a hospital, where he was told that his
arm was broken and that his hurts were so
serious that he must die or submit to hospital
treatment. This he would not do and so the
end soon came. When Paine was found after
his fall he had Oh only a pair of army shoes,
pantaloons and a shining black coat, but
toned close to the throat to hide the absence
Of shirt.
After his death there came an inquiry as to
who were bis friends. and q man named John
H.. Wardwell, who thought Paine had money,
turned up. Wardwell claimed that Paine
had made a will, leaving all his money to his
"friend John H. Wardwell." OF course there
was a contest. Paine's relations in Boston
don't want his money to go to any one else,
and they deny the making Of any will.
Wardweil has never produced one, but ha
has brough. forward witnesses who swear
TO having signed it. The heirs SAY
that Wariweil went to Boston directly after
Paine's death and offered to give them half
of what was fond in the miserAs trunk, IL
they would sign away their claims. All but
oEe signed, and it was his refusal that finally
brought the whole wrctched business to light.
But only q small sum was found in Paines
trunk, p there Il no doubt. that some one

JAMES N PA1t

JAMES HENRY PAIEE it is from this
sketch that this portrait Is taken.
During all the time James Henry Paine was
q frequenter OF Dingweii's he was never
known to spend any n:eseyy j. the place but
once. Then he had been given five cents on
condition that he pay it out for something at
once. But there was one thing for which he
would OF any time spend money, and that
was for music. Music WAS his al in this
world, and he would never miss a notable,
concert or opera, It is even suspected that
he would have purchased decent clothes if he
could not have obtained admittance to tho
opera houses and theatres without them.
He Yves also a great churchgoer, but he only
went where the choirs were fine. A gentle
man who studied him often when he was un-
der the spell of music says: sit was inspir-
ing TO watch him. His hard old face, with
the big nose and the marked features would
grow soft and full of feeling as he drank in
the floods of harmony and melody tina swept
to him across the great auditorium, for he III
ways perforce sat way back against the wall.
He did not seem to care for the book or the
acting on the stage. The music was all to
him.

In these days when cats are almost as nu-
merous as horses, it seems strange that at any
time it should have been deemed necessary to
protect them by law. But such was the case
in Britain, where great value was set upon
the cats, which in all probability were
originally imported from Rome. There psrs
regular penalties for destroying the animals,
graded according to the age Of the feline.
One of the most common although by no
means strongest arguments urged against
making pets Of cats is that they care nothing
for p~ersons-loving only places. This line OF
reasoning, it must be admitted, seems to lack
the great essential of truth. Cases are nu-
merous where a cat has recognized tho step OF
her master when returning after a consider
able absence. Besides which, in almost every
family, il one will closely observe, he cannot
fail to notice that ''Tabby" invariably has
certain favorites in the family circle, whose
slightest nod she will promptly and cheer
fully obey; while the simple approach OF
some other member OF the household, with
whom she is just as we'll acquainted. will be
sufficient to cause her back TO arch and her
tail stand erect as she sullenly backs under q
convenient table or chair.
The cat, like everything else, has at differ
emit periods Of its history besn caressed and
pstted by almost every one, while ct other
times it has almost suffered extinction
through its temporary unpopplarisy. But II D

EX-GOVERNOR ITK1N may be briefly told
as follows: He was born III Manchester, Conn,
Aug. 81, 1887, and studied at the Wesleyan
university in Middletown, his graduation
taking place in 1855. His legal education
was obtained at the Albany IN. W law
school, and after leaving this institution he
settled down to practice his profession in Mil
waukee. Here his health failed him, and in
1873 he sought recuperation in Europe, but
was brought home O year later quite pros
trated. Then he pushed further west in
search OF health, and found IL in a mining
camp in Colorado, then just admitted to the
Union. Practice came with returning health,
and he had secured some good mining prop
erty when lie was nominated to the guberna-
torial chair in 1878. Strong opposition could
not defeat him, and two years he was re-
elected to the same high office. His admins
tration was marked by strong good sense. at
the close of his second term he was spoken OF
for senator, but his illhealth would not per-
init of his making the canvass.

that can be explained only by the persons
who, undoubtedly taking advantage of his
carelessness in money matters, stole it from
him.
That Paine's reason was somewhat unset
tied during the later years of his life there is
little doubt. Certainly his case is one of the
%strangest hat has ever been recorded. A
miser who cares not for money is an anomaly
hitherto unrecorded. His only passion was
music, and it is not known that he ever spoke

secretiveness may be best understood when it
is stated that though he has been dead for
more than a year his story has only just come

1t is not easy to obtain the full confidence
OF a cat, although it is a particularly light
task TO forfeit it. But, after having made
friends with PUSSY you may, without any
difficulty whatever, maintain your pleasant
relations with her. provided you never at
tempt to "play tricks" upon her. One net of
treachery is sufficient to forever ALLEVIATE the
affections of a cat.
The cat is just now looking up in Great
Britain, where a big cat show has lately been
held at the Crystal palace. The tabbies whose
portraits we publish were prize winners at
this exhibition, and careful study of their
"points" will show that "blood will tell" even
in cats.
